OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Anti M on May 7, 2012 at 6:29am: Very exciting about the movie, I love films with Navy in them!

Comment by ProudGMBarb on May 6, 2012 at 10:21pm: R'sproudmom....wishing your sailor a great stay in SD and much success in C school! Time will start to go fast now for him.... faster than in GL!

Comment by ProudGMBarb on May 6, 2012 at 10:19pm: Hi Mary...good to hear from ya. We know you're always with us...even when you can't post!

Wow.. how exciting about the filming of the movie on Nick's ship. Looking forward to seeing the movie. All the best to Nick!

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on May 6, 2012 at 9:57pm: Hi all, hope everyone is fine. My schedule just keeps e very busy anymore. So sorry to hearvf Chrissy accident, did it happen on base?

Sammy, I will see if Jackie or Denise can post some info about Mayport. Denise son is an FC and was stationed theirvforvhiscfirst sea duty. He loved it, got married and had a baby at the Naval hospital there and his family was very happy there. Very military friendly town.

Spoke to our sailor today, the Battleship movie comes out on may 18th, a lot of the research and scenes were done on his ship and last weekend the cast was on his ship while entertainment Tonight filmed vthem. Apparently Nick was in thevfirstvwo minutes of their taping. Can't wait to see the movie!

Our son was trying to sneak home and surprise us this week, his sister is graduating from college on Thursday and he was home for mom's day last year but it simply won't work this year with his schedule. It warmed my heart to even think he tried.

Welcome to our new members, I love that we are almost 700 strong!!

Comment by HalfOfMyHeart on May 6, 2012 at 4:21pm: Jacksonville is awesome sammy! that's where we want to get stationed! you'll love it there :)

Comment by sammy on May 5, 2012 at 8:59pm: Does anyone have any information on NS MAYPORT. We are getting stationed there. I would like to know what surrounding areas do you live at? I am looking to live off base. Any information would be helpful!

Comment by R'sproudmom on May 5, 2012 at 4:34pm: Sailor arrived in SD yesterday and is already liking it. After six days on the road, I was so releived to get the " I'm hear" call.You were right BR549... he is gonna be happy there. Already has a season pass for Padre's (I think that's the team) baseball games. Says it is an easy three mile walk. He was heading to the airport to pick up a buddy starting C school with him on Monday. So glad he has his truck and can really check out the state. Any Mom's on here with Sailors starting C school on Monday?

Comment by Vickyrun on May 3, 2012 at 10:35am: Thanks navybluemom, I am glad they have good medical care in the Navy. They gave her three kinds of pills, so she is flying out today and her father is picking her up at the airport, She has two weeks leave.

AntiM, that maybe true but I am still going to worry next deployment. Lol

Comment by Anti M on May 2, 2012 at 1:25pm: Riding in a car is actually more hazardous than most days on a Navy ship. Unless they're on the flight deck!

Comment by Vickyrun on May 2, 2012 at 10:15am: Chrissy survived her 7-month deployment, got back to homeport safe. Then was in a car accident. Her back is hurt, I hope she feels better tomorrow she gets leave.
